Reviews
"The first quality one might expect in yet another book on [this] subject would be a fair and consistent referencing of . . . secondary literature. With The Vienna School of Art History: Empire and the Politics of Scholarship, 1847-1918, Matthew Rampley fulfills this expectation meticulously; indeed the latter quality pervades the work as a whole, deftly managing a large body of information and complex thought within what is not an overly long book." --Stefan Muthesius, CAA.Reviews, "Most art historians know a little about the Vienna School of art history, and many of them have read a couple of essays from that formative period, especially those by Riegl or Dvork. Yet none, I wager, has ever attempted to envision an entire social and intellectual biography of this complicated and contradictory culture that spawned the serious beginnings of the history of art. A learned historiographer to the core, Matthew Rampley has accomplished just that feat. Packed with erudition (not to mention endnotes!), this hefty text (in more ways than one) serves to provide telling episodes from early German-speaking art history across the imperial Habsburg map." --Michael Ann Holly, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, "The Institute of Art History at the University of Vienna was, up until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a state apparatus affiliated in purpose to the Institute of History and the Imperial Royal Central Commission for the Research and Preservation of Architectural Monuments. In this important study of the practices of the art historians from the dual monarchy's various regions, Matthew Rampley focuses on the ideological tensions generated by their work. Imperial demands for unity conflicted with nationalistic demands for independence. Furthermore, Vienna itself was the site of competing interests and demands epitomized in the existence of two art-historical institutes, led by Max Dvořák and Josef Strzygowski. Rampley's book is essential reading for the study of the politics of art-historical debate, displaying both its complexity and its internal contradictions. Its particular strength is its wide-ranging coverage of original source materials drawing attention to the work of hitherto marginalized art historians, both in Vienna and across the empire." -Richard Woodfield, editor, Journal of Art Historiography, "The Institute of Art History at the University of Vienna was, up until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a state apparatus affiliated in purpose to the Institute of History and the Imperial Royal Central Commission for the Research and Preservation of Architectural Monuments.

Very much to his credit, Rampley writes in gracefully lucid language, something that cannot be said about many scholars attracted to this material." --Michael Yonan, Austrian History Yearbook, "Most art historians know a little about the Vienna School of art history, and many of them have read a couple of essays from that formative period, especially those by Riegl or Dvorák.

Drawing on a wealth of sources in many of the Empire&'s languages, Rampley shows how the school&'s most famous members&-Alois Riegl, Max Dvořák, Josef Strzygowski&-fit into a much richer and wider set of debates about modern art, monument conservation, the West&'s relationship to the Orient, the meaning of the Baroque, and the relationship between German-speaking Austria and 'the rest.&' Especially original and important is Rampley&'s focus on art-historical controversies on the Empire&'s peripheries. This is a crucial book, not only for scholars interested in the historiography of art history, but also for specialists in Habsburg cultural history.&" &-Suzanne Marchand, Louisiana State University, "Mathew Rampley's book is essential reading for the study of the politics of art-historical debate, displaying both its complexity and its internal contradictions.

His arguments move the methodological problems analysed in Frank and Adler's collection right into the heart of European politics by offering a thorough and sustained interrogation not of the methods per se, but of the relationship between the idea of scientific method and liberalism." -Francesco Ventrella, Art History, "The first quality one might expect in yet another book on [this] subject would be a fair and consistent referencing of . . . secondary literature.
